Lost Sand?
I recently read an article about a beach in Jamaica that was missing approximately 500 truckloads of sand. Honestly I cracked right up at this one. I mean come on, first off how did anyone notice that, and two who steals sand? Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. There has been no charges or arrests yet but investigators are still searching. Even though a source says that the sand was probably sold to home owners, due to construction. According to the article illegal sand mining is "a problem" in Jamaica. The sand that was stolen from a resort at Coral Spring beach costing over a whopping 108 million! So much money for sand I tell ya. I know this probably is a big deal in Jamaica right now, figuring that BBC news wrote about it and everything, but I honestly find it as a huge joke. Stealing sand? Okay we better get right on that. I'm laughing at this article now and I probably still will be for a while. This article was entertaining and hilarious, not very helpful or informative when it comes to someone who actually wants to know a little more about Jamaica but overall very well written.
